The problems are severe enough that it’s affecting the buying experience for consumers, driving customers to opt for other devices, and forced me personally to stop recommending the machine. The display was eventually replaced with a Samsung but continues to experience other display related problems.įinally, after 4 LG screened rMBPs I give up! Unfortunately, models with Samsung displays aren’t totally free from a myriad of other significant issues.Īpple described the image-retention problems on this user’s display as normal after two visits. Users experiencing the problem eventually realized the source of the issue was with LG, one of Apple’s display suppliers for the new Retina MacBooks. The result is a support thread with over 364,769 views and, most recently, a class-action lawsuit in California that alleged Apple is failing to inform consumers of the issue. Leading the reports of problems is one that causes burn-in or ghosting on the device’s display. These widespread issues have received limited coverage in the press and many consumers claim Apple is failing to sufficiently address the problems by not informing consumers and employees. What many consumers don’t know is that buying a new Retina MacBook means taking your chances with possibly receiving a unit that is subject to display defects, battery, graphics, and fan-related issues among other major stability problems. Apple has built its reputation on quality, craftsmanship, and customer/user experience, but that hasn’t been the case with its latest lineup of MacBooks.

I’m really hoping that the presence of this device will spur Intel OEMS to provide similarly spec’ed machines and similarly visually stunning.When Apple unveiled its first Retina MacBook Pro with the 15.4-inch model in June, it came with an all-new, slimmed down design, all-flash architecture, and its flagship Retina display with over 5 million pixels. It’s beautiful device, but can’t really justify spending so much. And, don’t even mention MS Windows to Apple phone support, I was denied any assistance even though osX support installing Windows, via BootCamp. I got no support to this end, though promised by staff and managers.

So why was I dealing with the so-called Geniuses at the bar? because I need a way to install the osX from flash drive or external DVD rom drive (which I also bought). It took over 4 hours the first time I attempted it.

There is no CD Rom drive built in, and, due to screwing up my BootCamp dual boot (messing with partitions), twice I had to re-install osX Lion – OMG – it takes forever over wi-fi to download the image and accomplish this feat. I kept it for the two weeks then returned it mostly because at that price, >$3K, I was expecting much better support from Apple phone support and the Genius Bar guys. I actually bought the macbook pro retina and installed windows. The hardware inside the new retina MacBook Pro includes an Ivy Bridge Core i7-3720QM processor, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M discrete GPU, 512GB Apple-branded solid state drive, USB 3.0, Thunderbolt and of course that impressive 2880×1800 screen. After getting some benchmarks and games installed I thought I would report back to our readers with my thoughts and initial impressions on the laptop from a PC perspective.

While I didn’t have enough time with the retina MacBook Pro to give it a full review, I did spend an afternoon with one that had Windows 7 installed. When Apple announced a 15-in notebook with a screen resolution of 2880×1800, my hopes were raised that other vendors would take note and duplicate the idea – thereby lowering costs and increasing visual quality for users across the board. I have long been a proponent of higher resolution screens for PCs, hoping for the lower cost screens that we are just now finding in the Korean 27-in screen market (like the Achieva Shimian we recently reviewed). The newly released retina-screen MacBook Pro has been an interesting product to me since it was first announced.
